3.2 Connecting to a Zigbee Gateway
A Tuya Zigbee gateway (wired or wireless) is required for the smart switch to connect to the internet and enable app/voice control. Third-party Zigbee gateways may have compatibility issues, especially regarding power metering functions.
- Ensure your Tuya Zigbee gateway is powered on and connected to your network.
- Open the TuyaSmart or Smart Life app.
- Add a new device and select your Zigbee gateway.
- Follow the app instructions to put the switch module into pairing mode (usually by pressing a reset button or cycling power).
- Once discovered, add the switch module to your gateway.

6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Power Metering Data Not Displaying
If the energy metering switch module does not display voltage, current, and power data, consider the following:
- Gateway Firmware Version: Ensure your Tuya Zigbee gateway firmware is up to date. Contact your gateway seller for updates if necessary.
- Wired gateway: Main module version V1.21.0 or later
- Wireless gateway: Main module version V1.13.2 or later
- Multimode Wireless Gateway: Main module version V1.5.4 or later
- Multi-mode wired gateway: Main module version V1.8.2 or later
- Third-Party Gateways: Using a third-party Zigbee gateway (e.g., Amazon Echo 4th generation) may lead to compatibility issues, preventing the display of voltage, current, power, and energy measurements. It is recommended to use a Tuya Zigbee Gateway.
- Tuya HomeKit Gateway: Tuya HomeKit gateways cannot display voltage, current, and power.
- Contact Support: If issues persist, contact customer support via your Amazon order page.
